Contest Details

Do you have a cute picture of your dog wearing a Halloween costume? If you do, you probably think that your dog is the cutest thing ever. Why not put it to the test and upload a photo of your pup in a costume?

This contest will run until the end of the month. The official end date will be Oct. 31st, 2016.

Rules:

The photo you upload may be of your dog during any year; however, if the image you are uploading is an image you found on the internet, you will be disqualified. Other than that, pretty much anything goes. Just upload a picture of your dog in a Halloween costume and other users will vote. Good Luck!

NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. You must be at least eighteen (18) or the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence, whichever is older, at the time of entry. Void where prohibited or restricted by law and outside the fifty (50) United States (incl. DC). Subject to all federal, state and local laws, regulations, and ordinances.

Participation constitutes entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules and to Sponsor’s decisions, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein. Sponsor reserves the right to verify the eligibility of winners. This Sweepstakes is in no way sponsored, endorsed, or administered by, or associated with BarkBox.

3. How to Enter: During the Sweepstakes Period, individuals who upload a photo at https://www.breederretriever.com/contest/dog-costume-contest-2016/, shall be invited to enter the Sweepstakes. To enter, during the Sweepstakes Period, visit https://www.breederretriever.com/contest/dog-costume-contest-2016/, where you will be invited to enter the Sweepstakes. Upon completion of each entry method, you automatically will be entered with one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes. You must provide all required information to be eligible to enter and win. All potential winners are subject to verification before any prize will be awarded. Normal internet access, phone, and usage charges imposed by your online or phone service may apply. Automated or bulk entries or entries submitted by third parties will be disqualified. Entries must be submitted by the contestant. No copies, facsimiles, or mechanical reproductions of the entry form or Survey will be accepted. Any attempt by any participant to obtain more than the stated number of plays and/or entries by using multiple and/or different identities, forms, registrations, email addresses, logins, or any other methods will void that participant’s plays and/or entries, and that participant may be disqualified at Sponsor’s discretion. Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same email address. In the event of a dispute as to any registration or play, the authorized account holder of the email address used to register will be deemed to be the registrant or player. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder to the Sponsor or forfeit the prize. Entries specifying an invalid, non-working, or inactive email address will be disqualified and ineligible to win. Incomplete, illegible, corrupted, or untimely entries are void and will be disqualified.

Sponsor and Sponsor’s agents, affiliates, subsidiaries, representatives or service providers may use entrants’ and/or referrals’ personal information submitted with entry for purposes of prize fulfillment and/or for future marketing by Sponsor, such as to notify them of a product or promotion that Sponsor thinks may be of interest. Sponsor will not sell personal information submitted with entry to outside solicitors.

4. Selection of Winners: On or about November 1, 2016, Sponsor will select the name of the potential winner of the prize based on popular vote among all entries received. The odds of winning are based on the number of eligible entries received. The potential winner will be notified by email and/or phone number, using the information provided at the time of entry, on or about July 2, 2016. Except where legally prohibited, at the request of the Sponsor, each potential winner must sign and return, within seven (7) days of being notified, a Declaration of Eligibility, Liability & Publicity Release in order to claim his/her prize. If a potential winner cannot be contacted in person via email or telephone after the first attempt to contact him/her, or if he/she fails to sign and return the Declaration of Eligibility, Liability & Publicity Release within the required time period (if applicable), or in the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner selected by a random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Only two (2) alternate drawings will be held, after which any remaining prizes will remain un-awarded.

Verification of Potential Winners: ALL POTENTIAL WINNERS ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY SPONSOR, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE SWEEPSTAKES. AN ENTRANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE UNLESS AND UNTIL ENTRANT’S ELIGIBILITY HAS BEEN VERIFIED AND ENTRANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE.
